Christmas Seals 2012

This year's Christmas seals were designed by artist
Minna L. Immonen who has also designed the 2012 Christmas stamp. With their
classic Christmas symbols they match this year's Christmas stamp perfectly. The
profit from the sale of the Post's Christmas seals is donated to charity every
year. This year's beneficiary is the Children's and Family Cancer Fund of the
Åland Cancer Society. The Children's and Family Cancer Fund provides financial
support to children with cancer and their families. Financial assistance is
offered to facilitate the children's hospitalization and to ease the situation
for the families of children with cancer. Financial support may also be given
in cases where an adult member of the family has cancer to contribute to a
positive experience, such as a journey, for the entire family.
